25)     Vidalia is a cross-platform graphical controller for the
26)     <a href="<page index>">Tor</a> software, built using the <a
27)     href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> framework. Vidalia runs on most
28)     platforms supported by Qt 4.3 or later, including Microsoft Windows,
29)     Apple OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window
30)     system.

31)     </p>
32)     <p>
33)     Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are

34)     consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where
35)     these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from
36)     Tor about its progress and current state, and let you configure your
37)     Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.  Included in
38)     Vidalia is an extensive help system which helps you understand all of
39)     the options available to you.  All of these features are translated
40)     into a large number of languages.  Vidalia does not work alone,
41)     it requires Tor to be useful.

107)     Every project member inside Tor mostly uses IRC to communicate. Vidalia is
108)     being developed currently by Matt Edman and Tomas Touceda. You can find
109)     them in #vidalia channel at OFTC under the nicks edmanm and chiiph,
110)     repectively. You should get in touch in order to see what's everyone working

112)     intend to join the team, it's expected you stay around IRC, either in Vidalia's
113)     channel, or #tor-dev.
